A Scrimmage on the Border.

New Orleans Picayune: Else
where is printed a telegram an
nouncing a fight at Nogales, Ariz.,
between a party of Mexican SOL
diers under a Lieutenant and a
posse of Americans under the
Sheriff of Pima county, of which
Nogales is the seat of county gov
ernment. The Mexicans had
crossed the boundary, which is
there an imaginary line, marked at
intervals with stone monuments,
for the purpose of kidnapping a wo-
man. They were met and resisted
by the peace officers on the Arizo-
ma side, and after much shooting
of guns and pistols one Mexican
was mortally wounded.
Nogales is quite near the line
between Arizona and the Mexican
State of Sonora, and further trouble
is feared. Judging from past ex-
perience it is not likely that any
international trouble will grow out
of the matter. Acts of violence
are too common along the southern
international frontier for either
government to take any serious no.
tice of them. Some people have
thought that the United StatesGov-
ernment ought to take some inter-
est in the protection of its citizens,
both at home and abroad, but the
fate of the fortification bill in the
late Congress shows how thorough
ly the country is bent on peace.
The rifle and pistol practice of the
Arizona people was certainly very
poor in this little fight. They
ought to learn how to shoot.

Experiments With H. P. Hurst'S
Cartridge.

Washington special to the Times
Democrat, March Z: On Saturday
Lieut.. H. Morell, Of the navy, act
ing under department orders, made
the first of a series of official tests
of the H. P. Hurst reinforced car
fridge. 1t was showing at the
time, and Lieut.. Morell would
have postponed the experiments
except that Gen. Jos. R. Hawley
and his former partner, Mr.. Hub
bard, came down to the navy yard
despite the weather to see the
shooting, SO the test was made.
AS is we'll known, Gen. Hurst is
from Summit, Miss. A number of
shots were fired with the following
results:
The gun used was a 32-calibre,
the weight of powder in the first
chamber of the cartridge go grains,
the weight of bullet SO grains, steel,
with leather bands or washers on
the base Ga recent invention, by
the way, of Gen. Hawley, and
tested then for the first time), and
the accelerating or reinforced
charge OF the cartridge $50 grains
The firing was done by Lieut..
Morell from the shoulder, who re-
ported no shock from the gun, al
though more powder was used than
in any other military arm.
One bullet penetrated twenty
inches of pine. Another fired at
wrought iron plate penetrated
fvc-eighths Of an inch. Other
shots showed a similar penetration.
A sheet was spread down in front
of the gun for fifteen or twenty feet
and careful examination made
after the firing for unburnt powder
grains, which could not be found,
and showed that the cartridge
burnt all the powder therein.
Military experts have repeatedly
reported that the powder charge
could not be increased with com
fort and safety to the marksman
beyond eighty-five grains with an
ordinary bullet. The experiment
on Saturday demonstrated the
limit Of powder is much greater,
under Gen. Hurst's patent, than
has been dreamed of by military
experts. The penetration and
range will therefore be greatly in.
creased without danger to the
marksmen, and with a greatly les.
sened strain upon the Ereech O.
the gun. The cartridge is adapted
TO all small arms and artillery
Wonderful as it may seem, the in,
vention will increase the danger
point from 450 to 1000 yards.

Tax Titles.
IN rlPoKTANT DECIsIoN.

a special from Jackson Of the
7th, to the Commercial Herald,
gives very interesting decision on
the subject Of tax titles, now Of
great interest on account of the
large purchases of State tax lands,
which was rendered by theSupreme
Court on Monday last, 10 the case
OF L. P. Moody vs.. ]. NJ Hoskins,
on appeal from the Lincoln county
Circuit Court. The SnpremeCourt
reversed and remanded it. The
merits Of the case in substance are
as follows:
Certain land involved was sold
to the State for taxes in January,
1871, which belonged to infants,
who, by the statute then in force,
code Of 1871, had the right to re-
deem the same within one year
after attaining full age. On April
10, 1876, that part of the code Of
1871 was repealed, and all lands
held by the State for taxes were
declared subject to purchase, as
provided by that act by which the
State proposed to convey an abso-
lutte title to the purchasers from it.
The land in question was purchas-
ed from the State in December,
1878, in pursuance Of this act, and
is now held by appellee, who de-
nies the right of the infants to
redeem, as provided by the code
Of 1871.
The court says: "This presents
the question, can the legislature,
after a sale for taxes under law
which secures to the owner the
right to redeem the land, take
away and destroy this right? We
answer In the negative. To admit
such a right is to concede the
power to transfer valuable rights
from one to another by the easy
process Of legislation. BY its pur-
chase of this land on the third of
January, 1876, the State acquired
not an absolute title, but a condi-
ton or contingent one, which was
liable to be defeated and diyested
by the redemption of the bonds,
by act Of April 10, 1875. This
right of redemption was destroyed
by enacting that the title of the
State before that conditional and
contingent should be absolute and
unconditional, and held free from
any right of redemption. This is
not legislation, but confscation,
and is beyond the power of the
Legislature. The right of redemp-
ton as secured by the law in force
when the sale was made to the
State, was altered by act of April
Is, 1875, and the purchaser from
the State took the land subject to
this right"

Picking Out q Wife.

Pittsburg Dispatch; l always
was partial to the ladies, and did a
great deal of gallanting them
around and making them have as
good time as myself. But when
l came to the age at which most
young men fall in love / was very
careful to single out lady of my
own age, and one who had an extra
amount of common sense and good
breeding; one who was always
considerate Of others welfare, and
was not ashamed that she kept
house for three younger children
left orphans when quite young.
Now, after three years Of mar
ried lite, | have never seen my
wife untidy. She makes it her
business to keep herself looking as
neat as her house, and have yet
to see her out of humor, or in the
least ways cross, and although I do
not make anything like big wages,
yet she manages to keep the house
in all necessaries, and l have more
money in my pocket at the end of
the month than | ever had, or
could manage to save, before I was
married.
/ think if more young men would
look on the practical side of matri-
mony there would not be so many
disappointing unions.
Common sense is the thing. Never
mind the pretty face, bright eyes
or small feet. Has she good
supply of common sense? 1t beats
music and drawing far enough.
